Every year thousands of people are seriously injured and killed due to medical malpractice. According to the American Association for Justice:
Preventable medical errors kill and seriously injure hundreds of thousands of
Americans every year. Only heart disease and cancer kill more Americans.
Preventing medical errors will dramatically lower health care costs, reduce doctors' insurance premiums, and protect the health and well-being of patients.
The accountability promoted by the civil justice system is the engine of patient safety. No other mechanism or proposed alternative encourages accountability as effectively as the civil justice system. Rather than seeking to undermine this accountability, we must bolster it.
Medical malpractice cases can be very complicated and are some of the most expensive ones to pursue (with a lawyer or firm often advancing money for expenses).
Nevertheless, as the AAJ indicates above, it's not only necessary for victims of medical malpractice to receive adequate compensation, but it's necessary for the entire industry that accountability is bolstered.
Providence Medical Malpractice Attorney
Because I, David Morowitz, understand the complexity and the seriousness of a medical malpractice case, I'm very selective so I can dedicate as much time and energy possible to the case. When a client and I decide to work together, clients know what they're getting a deeply personal and compassionate attorney with over 100 cases that have gone to trial and over 40 million dollars in verdicts and settlements in personal injury cases.
Rhode Island Birth Injury Attorney
In addition to two of my main medical malpractice practice areas, doctor mistakes and birth injuries, I'm prepared to take on cases involving:
- Delayed/failed diagnosis
- Disfigurements and limps and/or loss of appendage/organ
- Emergency room errors
- Failure to gain informed patient consent prior to operation or procedure
- Misuse of prescription drugs, a medical device or an implant
- Surgical or anesthesia-related mishap during a procedure
- Retained sponges/instruments
- Misdiagnosis of cancer
- Laboratory errors
- Failed treatment
- Chronic pain
- Wrong-sided surgeries
- Wrongful death
- Nerve damage/paralysis
- Failure to prevent blood clots/stroke
Most doctors are intelligent and do a good job, but they can make mistakes. I'm here to comprehensively investigate and find out if a mistake was made or not. I only consult with doctors outside of Rhode Island when determining errors in medical treatment. Although there may be an unfavorable outcome in medical treatment, it does not mean that there was a physician error. If there was an error, I will find out. If there was no error, I'll be open and honest. Potential clients are often relieved to discover no error was made by their medical provider.
